While some of these are familiar to theologians, others have been more or less ignored hitherto, and the field of neuroethics as a whole has received little theological attention. Drawing on both theological ethics and the science-and-theology field, Messer discusses cognitive-scientific and neuroscientific studies of religion, arguing that they do not give grounds to dismiss theological perspectives on the human self. He examines a representative range of topics across the whole field of neuroethics, including consciousness, the self and the value of human life; the neuroscience of morality; determinism, freewill and moral responsibility; and the ethics of cognitive enhancement."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aInternational theological commentary on the Holy Scripture of the Old and New Testaments. 606 $aChristian ethics$vCongresses 606 $aBrain$vCongresses 606 $aNeurosciences$vCongresses 615 0$aChristian ethics 615 0$aBrain 615 0$aNeurosciences 676 $a241 700 $aMesser$b Neil$01618529 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827741303321 996 $aTheological neuroethics$93950298 997 $aUNINA
